It's not a contest about who's better. Each man has a unique musical voice.

enriquez didn't write many musical works. its in the way they play on the piano. i think its very obvious that enriquez is more confident and relaxed on the piano than monk. therefore, enriquez plays better than monk. its a claim about the ability to entertain and impress an audience. jazz is a form of entertainment. its not a science. i cannot be right or wrong about that claim. its a minimal claim. that is only what i claim. nothing more or less.

i have been listening to jazz since i was a kid. i love jazz and some other american cultural influences then and now. my country, the philippines, has a century of illicit love affair with american culture since we were bought from spain by america for 20 million dollars at the treaty of paris in 1898. hence, filipinos can appreciate jazz more than other asians, and probably more than any other europeans.

What do you mean?

How can you say that the guys who actually created Jazz are lacking in their jazz ability? It makes no sense. Chuck Berry helped form Rock&Roll; so on principle it's not an argument to say that, oh I don't know, that Hendrix is better than Chuck Berry. Berry can't be touched; he created the thing.

Interesting perspective. Perhaps you could post some links to his music.

bobby enriquez was far more advanced and creative on the jazz piano than any american or european jazz pianists. americans and european jazz artists are extremely OVERRATED. it can only be explained by americacentrism and eurocentrism in music pervading the world after the second world war up to now.

Haha, but most of the performers I really, really like are all dead! I guess it's a good thing, though, 'cause if I had the chance to see/meet some of these guys before they died and I didn't, I'd be upset. Are you still a Jazz fan? What was the 5 Spot like? |
